  2. 'More than likely we're going to have to beat England' - Matthewspublished at 18:08 British Summer Time

    West Indies captain Hayley Matthews: "We spoke about being disciplined with the ball and getting them to hit where we wanted them to. It was definitely a positive going into the match with a healthy run rate.

    "Karishma Ramharack was great, good at executing. We know she's one of our more experienced bowlers coming in, it's good to see her get some reward.

    "It's a World Cup, you have to win every match. Especially after the first game, we know we have to be on it, winning every game.

    "I think Stafanie Taylor has got a knee problem. Our doctors and physios are trying to fix her but she's a fighter and knows how to manage her body. She realised the position we were in and realised she could rest.

    "Stafanie is a fighter, out physios wouldn't have her out if she wasn't up for the challenge.

    "I know I'm batting with her, we were taking it a bit easy. It flowed at the crease well and we didn't have to run too much.

    "Luckily we've got the last game of the group [against England]. More than likely we're going to have to win. If you're going to compete in a World Cup, you're going to have to beat the best. We've got a few days off then we're back out there."

  3. 'Back-to-back wickets cost us' - Jotypublished at 17:57 British Summer Time

    Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty: "I think we had a very good start. We played so many dots and back-to-back wickets cost us.

    "Their bowlers bowled really well in the middle overs and didn't give us room to play our shots. We missed so many singles which gave us pressure.

    "There are lots of things we can take as learnings. You have to be positive because we have a side with not much experience. We need to focus on our intent as a batting unit. The bowlers have done their job in every game.

    "We should look to play good cricket and get a good win [against South Africa]. We want to play as a team and take back something to remember.

    "Away from home, it still feels like home with so many fans coming to support us. We want to finish on a good note they can remember."

  4. 'Really happy to contribute' - Ramharackpublished at 17:52 British Summer Time

    West Indies spinner Karishma Ramharack took 4-17 from her 4 overs earlier on and has been named player of the match.

    "It's always good to contribute to the team win. I'm happy I was able to do that," she said.

    "The pitch was quite slow early on, you had to bury pace as much as possible, I was able to do that well.

    "We knew they had a couple of batters that could hit well but we stayed patient, the wickets came after we were patient.

    "The way the girls went about the chase, I was really happy. It will be good to have a couple of days off.

    "I'm really happy to contribute to the team. At the start of the tournament, I was not as effective as I should have been. I'm happy to find that form back."

    This is what the West Indies are about. A very, very comprehensive and professional performance from them.

    Save 'em!

    Deandra Dottin has had enough of knocking singles, and launches a huge 80m six over midwicket.

    Another one of them would see West Indies home...

    The West Indies have been able to find the boundary and manipulate the field, something that Bangladesh couldn't do.

    Deandra Dottin has completely bossed that one.

    Shemaine Campbelle has done a job, she's struggled to play like this so far in the tournament so she'll take some confidence from this.

    It will be good for the West Indies to get some of their middle order in.

    Shemaine Campbelle has really upped the ante. The West Indies will want to finish this as soon as possible.

    They need 22 from 9 overs, and I for one reckon they'll do it...

    Shemaine Campbelle has played a useful innings so far. Shorna Akter is under a bit of pressure here.
